ERP solutions by industry

The same platform behaves very differently in a factory and in a clinic. These pages describe what we configure, and what we have learned goes wrong, in each.

Why industry matters more than company size

Businesses tend to shop for ERP by size — something for a small business, something for a mid-sized one. In practice the configuration work is determined far more by what the business does than by how many people do it.

A thirty-person manufacturer and a thirty-person distributor need almost nothing in common from an ERP. One needs bills of material, routing and work-in-progress valuation; the other needs batch tracking, customer price lists and credit control. Sold the same configuration, both get a system that fights them.

That is why these pages are organised by industry rather than by package tier, and why discovery always starts with what you make, move or treat.
